111: Can Anybody Beat the Market? - Q1 Update of the Artistic Finance 6k

An update on the Artistic Finance 6k--the $6,000 of investments we made in May of 2021. We’re joined by a bond investment CEO and a data analyst to review how our investments compare to the S&P 500. We discuss a new experiment! Our guests have purchased $1,000 investments of their own to see how they can do against my investments and the market at large.   Links & Resources:    Maithreyi Gopalakrishnan - CEO of LiquidiFi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maithreyi-gopalakrishnan/ [email protected]   Katie Buhrman - Data Analyst: @ktbuhr on Instagram https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherinebuhrman/ https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/6520240   Ethan Steimel - Lighting Designer: @artisticfinance on Instagram https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethansteimel/   The Investor's Podcast - an episode about Bonds: https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/bitcoin-fundamentals/fed-policy-bitcoin-etfs-euro-dollar-impacts-steven-mcclurg/   Previous Episodes of Interest:   Cryptocurrency with Najah Roberts: https://www.artisticfinance.com/episode/JM5QCXLUhsqOfRDC8Dd2/Cryptocurrency-Bitcoin-with-Najah-Roberts   Bond Investing - aka I-Bonds - with Maithreyi Gopalakrishnan: https://www.artisticfinance.com/episode/Ls2svcghok0FemQVcNBp/Bond-Investing-with-Maithreyi-Gopalakrishnan   Wine Investing with Anthony Zhang: https://www.artisticfinance.com/episode/G7sKrzcmEwJeor6iAy4t/Wine-Investing-with-Anthony-Zhang   Affiliate links: M1 Finance - Good for Long Term / Buy and Hold Investors - I don't think there is a sign up incentive: m1finance.8bxp97.net/XxYPZg   Coinbase - Cryptocurrency Exchange - $10 of Bitcoin: https://www.coinbase.com/join/steime_0   Vinovest - Wine Investing - 3 months of free wine storage: https://app.vinovest.co?grsf=2p0wk3   Robinhood - Stock Trading - Intuitive and easy to use - Free Stock On Signup: https://join.robinhood.com/ethans21   We Bull - Free Stock Trading - Design for Traders - I find it difficult to navigate - 5 Free Stocks on Signup: https://act.webull.com/pm/do1QnByzkAhA/a3j/inviteUs/main   ETF - the S&P 500 index fund we hold: IVV - iShares Core S&P 500   Stocks: VST - Vistra Corp LAC - Lithium Americas TAP - Molson Coors Beverage (owners of Blue Moon) SKLZ- Skillz   Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin   Wine: We own one case through Vinovest Vinovest   Real Estate - REITS: UBA - Urstadt Biddle Properties SRG - Seritage Growth Properties VICI - Experiential Real Estate - Previously MGM Properties STAG - STAG Industrial   Art: Bret Slater - Artist https://www.bretslater.com/   Photos of the Painting: https://www.patreon.com/posts/64295618   Full story of commissioning the piece - only accessible to patrons: https://www.patreon.com/posts/61516832   Ian Dunlap - The Investor Ethan follows: https://linktr.ee/themasterinvestor   ...
